About
Flat, fast running in one of Aberdeen’s most iconic parks.
Join us at Duthie Park for a 5K or 10K around one of Aberdeen’s best-loved green spaces and one of the fastest courses on the Up and Running Events calendar.
Located in the heart of Aberdeen, Duthie Park provides a fantastic setting for race day. With wide, smooth paths, beautiful gardens and open parkland, it’s a brilliant place to enjoy a morning of running, whether you’re chasing a personal best or taking part in your first event.
The course follows a flat and fast 2.5km loop, taking runners throughout the park and making the most of its beautiful surroundings. With very little elevation and plenty of flowing sections, it’s an ideal route for settling into a rhythm and pushing for a new PB.
Duthie Park is always a favourite when we return to Aberdeen. The combination of a fast course, a central location and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere makes it a fantastic event for runners of all abilities.
Whether you’re racing the clock, building towards a bigger goal or simply enjoying a run with friends, everyone is welcome.
As always, expect chip timing, friendly marshals, free race photography, a bespoke finisher medal, post-race goodies and everything that makes an Up and Running Events race day.
One of Aberdeen’s best running locations. Join us at Duthie Park.
